Abstract:

The FAD3 gene in plants plays a crucial role in regulating polyunsaturated fatty acid conversion and energy metabolism.To investigate the impact of FAD3B on muscle energy metabolism in mice,leg muscles were isolated from FAD3B transgenic mice (MF) and wild-type mice (MW),followed by total protein extraction.Protein samples were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed,and peptides were separated via LC-MS/MS using a strong cation exchange column to obtain raw mass spectrometry data.The data were processed using mass spectrometry software,and a peptide-protein dataset with significant peaks was selected for cluster heatmap visualization to compare MF and MW protein samples.Subsequently,biostatistical and bioinformatics analyses,including functional prediction,were performed to identify candidate target proteins regulated by FAD3B that were ubiquitinated and associated with muscle energy metabolism.The results revealed 180 differentially ubiquitinated peptides enriched in 65 proteins.Among these,seven upregulated peptides were enriched in seven proteins,while 54 downregulated peptides were enriched in 31 proteins.GO analysis,KEGG analysis and STRING analysis were performed on all target proteins enriched with differentially ubiquitinated peptides,and it was found that most of the target proteins were related to glycolysis,muscle contraction,protein synthesis and catabolism.In conclusion,exogenous FAD3B gene transfer alters ubiquitination modification levels in cellular structural components,muscle development,and energy metabolism-related proteins in mice.This demonstrates that FAD3B may influence skeletal muscle growth not only by regulating polyunsaturated fatty acid conversion but also by modulating ubiquitination of key proteins.These results provide a novel theoretical foundation and molecular targets for studying the mechanism of FAD3B in skeletal muscle development.
